Reproducibility Variable Result LLM Response
Research Type Experimental We also evaluate the performance of our algorithms using simulated data as well as the real-world movie ratings dataset Movie Lens.
Researcher Affiliation Academia Harvard University, Cambridge MA, USA $ University of Michigan, Ann Arbor MI, USA yangl@seas.harvard.edu, mingyan@umich.edu
Pseudocode No The paper describes algorithms but does not contain a clearly labeled 'Pseudocode' or 'Algorithm' block.
Open Source Code No No explicit statement about providing open-source code or a link to a code repository was found in the paper.
Open Datasets Yes An Empirical Study Using Movie Lens We now apply the idea of crowd-learning to the Movie Lens data [KONECT, 2014] collected via a movie recommendation system. We will use Movie Lens-1M dataset.
Dataset Splits No The paper discusses evaluating performance but does not specify explicit training, validation, or test dataset splits, percentages, or absolute counts for reproducibility of data partitioning.
Hardware Specification No The paper does not provide specific details on the hardware (e.g., GPU/CPU models, memory) used for running experiments.
Software Dependencies No The paper does not provide specific software dependency details with version numbers (e.g., library or solver names with version numbers).
Experiment Setup Yes In our simulation we have ten users with five options; each user targets the top three options at each time, i.e., M = 10, K = 3, N = 5. Furthermore, for each option the reward is given by a truncated exponentially distributed random variable (bounded). The distortion factor between each pair of users for each option is generated according to a Gaussian random variable with mean 1 and variance 1. We use crowd regret to denote the sum of regrets from all users. The regret results are averaged over 50 sample realizations.
